Away fans are housed in a temporary stand in the East Side of the ground while the permanent Away stand is being built. It currently houses 1,700 away fans. The stand also has no roof and the wind from the sea cuts right into the away supporters. There is a good chance of finding yourself signing in the rain if your an away fan at Blackpool. The No 1 Bar is adjacent to the visiting fans and is rather friendly to traveling fans. There is a nominal fee to get in however. There are also other bars within a 10 minute walk of Bloomfield Road that are welcoming to visiting fans as well.
